[...] Identity, then, is action’s effect upon itself. [...]

[...] The heat cushions that effect, hence the frequent inner heat treatments. (Jane was experiencing these effects today and tonight, etc.)

[...] The period of ease had begun this afternoon, and was still in effect at session time. [...]

[...] Care is being taken that the release is fairly well balanced, but at the same time one joint may be more released than another in a given moment, causing the feelings of unfamiliarity.

[...] The World as Idea Construction came to him, beside its extrasensory origin, subconsciously, with an exploding effect to save him, because he had so put the lid upon his creative activities after Rebellers, that he had effectively blocked the intuitive self.

[...] The effect was rather like that of a reversed negative. [...]

[...] The effect lasted for perhaps a minute or two, the room was sufficiently well lighted [although not blazing with light; during her deliveries Jane usually has one 60W light on, but at break we turn more lights on; and if this bothers Jane while talking she automatically snaps them off as she paces about.] and Bill and I had plenty of chance to make sure of what we were looking at.

(10:36.) Your medical technology may help you “conquer” one disease after another — some in fact caused by that same technology — and you will feel very efficient as you do heart transplants, as you fight one virus after another. [...]

[...] A true healing, or health profession, would deal intimately with the powers of the psyche in healing the body, and with the interrelationship among the desires, beliefs, and activities of the conscious mind and its effects upon the cellular behavior.

[...] Because science has made an effective barrier to that method of approach, the power seems to reside in the gadgets rather than in man. [...]

Seth first mentioned The Nature of Personal Reality in Session 608, April 5, 1972, only shortly after Rob and I had finished reading proofs for his previous book, Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul.
